What would it be like if Nintendo developed games for the App Store and Android Market? We may never know, but the developers over at Orange Pixel were inspired by internet talk and decided to find out for themselves. Their latest release has been constructed with heavy influence from Nintendo’s Game Boy. Titled Stardash, the game will deliver retro side-scrolling action in grey and black, complete with classic sound effects.
From Orange Pixel’s blog:
“In short, this is the game I came up with after the internet-talks that Nintendo should create games for Android and iOS devices.
Using gameboy style graphics and sounds for extra memories of old-school running and jumping. It’s a little experiment to see if I could create such a game in the way the big N would do it. A lot of care has been put in the level-design and the simplicity of it all.”
This is a good idea. Show Nintendo how easily it's done.

I would personally love to see this happen. I think that with the increasing capabilities of smartphones to run more complex games it is almost an inevitability that sony/microsoft/nintendo will have to at least consider the phone market.
